What a joke. Beyond motivating agents qualify the type of influence being established between dogs and owners. Reprobates, such as Donaldson, exploit learning theory and package dominance up to rip off dog owners. When dogs are medicated and given up on it certainly has nothing to do with her lame ideas.
@jimbob0592: Well, that would be because dogs are not pack animals, they are solitary scavengers who may form temporary associations with other dogs. It is not dismissed out of spite, but because it has been disproved by science, the most famous study being published in "Dog: A New Understanding..." by Coppinger & Coppinger.
Keep an open mind, yes. But let's stick to facts also.
I am concerned that Jean Donaldson like many other very well educated and knowledgeable behaviorists dismiss "Pack theory" all to readily out of spite for Cesar Milan's uneducated rise to stardom. I in no way imply that what is being preached by Jean should be dismissed, but what the public should know is that a good healthy relationship with a canine is not obtained with just positive reinforcement or assertiveness it is a combination of both techniques and others as needed. Keep your mind open
How come the San Francisco SPCA Academy for Dog Trainers was shut down? It's a real shame... this school was known as the "Harvard for dog trainers" but it no longer exist. Who will take a certificate seriously from a school that shut down? I planned on attending there eventually, so I was sad to see it no longer exists.
